Eleven-year-old Skye Alyssa Friedman is making other girls her age cringe with envy after nailing a spot as a “standby” in the beloved Broadway musical Annie.

Last month, Skye flew to the Big Apple to begin rehearsals, and she will spend the next six months in the city watching her dream become reality.

“It has been a dream of mine to be on Broadway since kindergarten, and I have worked very hard to get there,” Skye said.

The home-schooled sixth-grader is a member of the Young Singers of the Palm Beaches and its Broadway Artist Studios, as well as the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s Paul and Sandra Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts. While at the conservatory, she participated in the Youth Touring Company and spent a year performing tap, ballet, jazz, modern dance, piano and ukulele. She has shined in Oklahoma!, Peter Pan and other shows that have taken place at the regional theater on Indiantown Road near the neighborhoods of Jupiter condos for sale.

“We are so thankful to have such a wonderful theater in our back yard that has allowed Skye to train and perform in professional productions,” said her mother, Liz Friedman. “Skye seems to live at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre and often refers to it as her second home.”

Skye she couldn’t have reached such heights at her age without the conservatory or her experiences in the theatre’s professional season productions.

“I am so excited to be heading to Broadway,” she said.

Lighthouse Ladies Aug. 12The waters off Jupiter welcomed the first Lighthouse Ladies fishing tournament this summer to benefit the nonprofit Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches.

Because of the enthusiasm of all of the volunteers, participants and sponsors, 100 percent of the net proceeds were donated to the organization that helps those with visual impairments maintain their independence and gain self-confidence.

Tournament events took place at various locations both onshore and offshore, including the JIB Club, Shipwreck Bar & Grille and Sweet’s in Tequesta. Prizes were awarded for the biggest catch, and raffles, an auction, music, food and drinks helped make the event a success.

Tournament Executive Director Johnny Ringo said more of the same is planned for the second Lighthouse Ladies tournament in 2014.
